3 The Parent Function can be transformed by using f( ) 1 f ( ) a k h What do a, h and k represent? a the vertical stretch or compression h the horizontal translation k the vertical translation

4 What is an asymptote? The line where a graph approaches There can be vertical asymptotes horizontal asymptotes and What is the vertical asymptote? What is the horizontal asymptote? y 0 slant asymptotes.

7 Eample g ( ) 1 What is the transformation? Left units What is the vertical asymptote? What is the horizontal asymptote? y 0

8 To Graph Rational Functions 1. Factor Completely. Vertical Asymptotes: set the denominator equal to zero. It is stated as an equation # The vertical asymptotes are the domain eclusions. 3. Horizontal Asymptotes: compare the degrees of the numerator and denominator.

9 Horizontal Asymptote If low deg ree high deg ree 3 5 then HA: y = 0 If same same deg ree deg ree you look at y leading coefficient leading coefficient then HA: y = If high deg ree low deg ree then there is NO horizontal asymptote HA: none

10 Graphing continued 4. Roots: set the numerator = 0 What is another name for the -intercepts? Roots What does it mean on the graph? Where the graph crosses the -ais

11 5. Holes: Graphing continued Look at factors that are common to numerator and denominator. Set those equal to 0 and solve. Vertical Asymptotes do NOT include the holes.
